Play can be an activity, an action or an event. It can be free form and relaxed or highly structured and rigorous. It can be social or independent, imaginative or rule based. These acts of play are also associated with a wide variety of value. It is not uncommon to hear an individual state “I’m just playing” implying that the activity they are engaged in is not very valuable or serious. In fact, most individuals associate the term “play” to something not serious, something light hearted and free from work or stress. However, is play not valuable to an individual playing in an NFL game? Is the experimentation and practice that goes into playing an instrument not a serious event? Is all play just “fun and games”? In this unit, learners will further their understanding of the term “play”. Learners will explore various perspectives while interpreting the term by creating art based on movement. Learners will also create an artwork that explores the importance of process over the actual finished work.

Handheld ArtColumbia Museum of ArtGender Portrayals in ToysPlayOn many occasions, the toys we play with or the games we participate in reflect roles that many of us will some day fill. These objects and events are often associated with long standing gender portrayals through the characteristics they promote. Boys have been traditionally viewed as tough and always on the move. Girls are traditionally viewed as timid, dainty, and more domestic. However, how are these roles determined? Are stereotypical toys only to be played with in one specific way? What determines a toy as one for a boy or one for a girl? How does our culture or environment influence these ideas? In this unit, learners will be exploring these ideas. Learners will look at a variety of images looking at the traditional gender roles, in particular toy advertisements. After thoroughly analyzing a chosen toy advertisement, the learner will recreate the image using the toy in a different, or unexpected way.Molly D. Chance1. CMA 2007.6_1

Handheld ArtColumbia Museum of ArtPlaying PretendPlayAlthough commonly associated with a childhood activity, all humans both young and old enjoy play. Highly researched, it is believed that play is a key aspect of human development. During development, play is often very personal requiring the use of imagination, which reflects the experiences of the player. Both our personal and social experiences influence how we play. In this unit, learners will analyze the act of play, particularly looking at pretend, an act that highly involves the imagination. Learners will discuss how they practiced playing pretend when they were younger. Learners will choose one personal pretend scenario and will construct a concept map of possible influences for their chosen pretend activity. After the initial planning period, learners will be creating a series of photographs exploring their personal experiences with play and pretend.Molly D. Chance1. CMA 1960.24
